    Works great... IF it connects to your WiFi.

    The product looks and works great, but for some reason adding any new nest product always fails when I have 5 GHz enabled on my WiFi. This is because Google expects you to have separate SSIDs for 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands. After wasting a lot of time with useless error codes and starting over and over, I found the suggestion online and it worked. If they fixed that one thing, this would have definitely been a 5 star review!

      Hi MRGabe, thanks for giving us your feedback on Nest Protect (wired) and we’re glad that it works great, but we’re sorry to hear that you had some issues with adding new Nest devices. We appreciate your efforts in doing research online, and good to know that it worked.

      Nest Protect connects to the Internet using the 802.11 b/g/n 2.4GHz networks and won’t be able to find your network if it’s set up to be in 5GHz-only mode. It also requires IPv6 in order to be added to the Nest app. Some smart home devices only use the 2.4 GHz band and will not be available for setup if your phone is on the 5 GHz band. In addition to Nest Protect devices (on software version 4.0 or higher), the Nest app can use the Nest Guard, Nest Hello, Nest Cam (Indoor and Outdoor), Nest Learning Thermostat 3rd Gen, Nest Thermostat E, and Nest Connect to pair new products to an account. If the Nest app uses an assisting device (another Nest product in your home), the assisting device, while connected to a 5GHz network, may try to communicate to the Nest Protect or be out of range of the Nest Protect.

      Our dedicated team of specialists are always ready to provide you with services and assistance. Simply let us know if there’s anything we can be of help by visiting us here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

    Overall, the Nest Protect is quite easy to install... especially, if you already have a Nest account (e.g. another Nest Protect or Nest Thermostat). It's been working great albeit only a few weeks so far.

    Love these CO/smoke detectors. Worth every penny. Give peace of mind when not at home. Most convenient feature is the LED path light that illuminates your path when it detects someone walk underneath it at night. The light can be dimmed or turned completely off.

    If the Wired Nest Protect had Google Assistant intergraded, it would be perfect. Other wise having the night light and app updates are good.
